EndoNet ID: ENR01337

To link to the content of EndoNet use the EndoNet ID that is given on the detail pages in the format ENX0000, where X is a place holder for the type of the component (e. g. R for receptor or C for anatomical structure).
As URL for the linking append this ID to the detail page for this type of component.
For an hormone that would be: 

http://endonet.bioinf.med.uni-goettingen.de/hormone/ENH00000

It is also possible to use the search of EndoNet to link to the right detail page. The URL should look like 

http://endonet.bioinf.med.uni-goettingen.de/search/ENC00000
If the search pattern is unambigious the user is directed to the corresponding detail page.

Synonyms

  • cystein proteases

General information

  • Cysteine proteases also known as thiol proteases are enzymes that degrade polypeptides. These proteases share a common catalytic mechanism that involves a nucleophilic cysteine thiol in a catalytic dyad.
  • A potent inhibitor of cystein proteases are the cystatins. They bind adjacent to the protease active site, obstructing the access of substrate. [1]
